Kameron Misner Collects Three Hits, Homers Twice Monday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kameron Misner got in on the action in Monday's 16-1 win over the Red Sox. Misner went 3-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, a two-run HR, and a walk. The 27-year-old drove a second-inning Tanner Houck breaking pitch over the left-center wall to score two and finished the scoring parade in the eighth inning, taking a Brennan Bernardino breaking pitch just over the right-field wall. Misner came into the season with no fantasy hype but has produced at a high level early on, slashing .400/.444/.775 with three HR, nine RBI, and a stolen base in 45 plate appearances. He has never produced extraordinary minor-league numbers, but fantasy managers could potentially turn to him as a spark plug for their lineups in the short term.
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kameron Misner wasn't in the starting lineup to begin Friday's game, but he came up as the hero. Misner came into the game as defensive replacement in the eighth inning. He came ready to play as Misner hit a game-winning home run off Victor Vodnik during his lone plate appearance. Misner returned to the big league roster with Richie Palacios (finger) heading to the injured list. However, Misner figures to be primary a bench outfielder, so his playing time could be limited. He was the hero on Friday, but fantasy managers don't need to jump on the waiver wire to add Misner.
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kameron Misner has been recalled from Triple-A Durham and will make the Opening Day Roster, according to Bally Sports' Ryan Bass. Misner gets one of the final spots on the MLB roster to begin the year with Richie Palacios (finger) starting the season on the injured list. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder was the former 35th overall pick of the Miami Marlins in 2019 out of the University of Missouri. He made his big-league debut last year with the Rays but had just one hit and struck out 10 times in 15 plate appearances over eight games. Misner will get another shot at a major-league roster spot for Tampa in 2025, but he'll merely be serving as a bench option behind Christopher Morel, Jonny DeLuca and Josh Lowe. Misner is athletic and has shown a nice power/speed combination in the minors, but the playing time just isn't going to be there.
